An adventure with sheep's wool - shearing it, preparing it, spinning it , dying it , knitting . the learning is endless! Links to some of my learning videos bottom page. Sunday, February 23, 2014. Green Peridot scarf gets a copper pin. I've added some modifications to the copper shawls pin - a tiny beed on the tip (to stop it snagging on the yarn) and a little chain between the stylus and the main broach so it won't escape and get lost - or wind up where it should not be. Links to this post. I've complet...

DroimAnUan: Spinning Merino Purples
http://droimanuan.blogspot.com/2015/03/spinning-merino-purples.html
An adventure with sheep's wool - shearing it, preparing it, spinning it , dying it , knitting . the learning is endless! Links to some of my learning videos bottom page. Sunday, March 15, 2015. After getting hold of a bag of Merino roving (from Wingham Wool Work I think) with 13 shades of purples and mauves, I decided to spin sequential colors in the singles and then ply. The solution: chain the sliver nests together in order as each one is spun so it can't get away then put the chains back in the bag.

New Drop Spindle - a delight. In addition to the BFL roving I bought at Woolfest, I also fell for a lovely hand-made drop spindle (I will. Find the makers name). It just suited my hand - such an opportunity to test-drive several spindles and find the one that suits. Links to this post. Lovely wools and crafts.

An adventure with sheep's wool - shearing it, preparing it, spinning it , dying it , knitting . the learning is endless! Links to some of my learning videos bottom page. Friday, March 27, 2015. I've spun about 145 gms of the Merino roving in lilacs and puples. There was only a little bleeding on the first rinse and none so far in the second. I'm hoping the sampling the hank and letting it hang-dry will even out some of the slobber parts. Here it is on the swift before soaking:. Links to this post. Somewh...

FeltstudioUK BFL hand-dyed roving spun. The weather turned - rain and dark recently - but the spinning goes on. The Blue Faced Leicester hand-dyed roving has become 193 grams of chain-plied Sport weight yarn. I spun the singles on the new drop spindle and chain-plied it on my e-spinner. It was nice work.

Huddie Horror - yuck. Look no further if you are particularly squeamish! From the kitchen window, I saw Huddie pouncing around behind one of the raised beds. The bed is now empty, all the old growth cleared away for the winter. Went to investigate, whereupon Huddie assumed the innocent pose:. Walks by the ca...

Flicker - Flame fiber and yarn. I have lots of my former sheep's fleece dyed in a fuzzy heap in a basket and from time to time I card some and then make different colored springy squishy yarns. Red, two yellows, blue and grey hand dyed fleece. So - we'll see. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Backwa...
